Danger Mouse/Sparklehorse - Dark Night of the Soul

[alexcho]

Heads Up!!!

Danger Mouse (of Gnarls Barkley/Gorillaz) teams up with Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) to create a collaboration wet-dream-come-true!  The album was streamed (in error) by Chrysalis...

Guest vocalists perform on the duo's tracks:

Wayne Coyne (The Flaming Lips) on Revenge
Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals) on Just War
Jason Lytle (now defunct Grandaddy) on Jaykub and Every Time I'm with You
Julian Casablancas (The Strokes) on Little Girl
Black Francis (Pixies/Grand Duchy) on Angel's Harp
Iggy Pop (The Stooges) on Pain
James Mercer (The Shins) on Star Eyes (I Can Catch It) and Insane Lullaby
Nina Persson (The Cardigans/A Camp) on Daddy's Gone and The Man Who Played God
Vic Chestnutt (Brute) on Grain Augury and Dark Night of the Soul

To top it off, it may well be the soundtrack to a movie produced by none other than uber-producer David Lynch (Eraserhead/Twin Peaks/Mulholland Drive).

Amazon has it listed as a book RRP @ $50?! Maybe that's a special edition?

Visited the site http://www.metafilter.com/81720/Dark-Night-Of-The-Soul and then the amazon site http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Night-Soul-Danger-Mouse/dp/1576875245/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242395075&sr=8-1 which now has price listed as $31.50 instead of $50.

Sooooooo, either:
- the limited edition (5000 copies has been sold out);
- they decided to make it more affordable in current economical climate;
- Danger Mouse & EMI struck a deal and a general release shall soon grace our shops...

Mind working overtime  :o,
